Tools & Accessories

My work station..pardon the mess...with myriads of tools and items ordinary people would throw away! A word of advice to modellers - make sure all your tools and chemicals secured, keep away from your children!! (and remind your wife not to touch or remove anything from the table!!) 

I have 4 airbrushes of different types and sizes. The best bargain I had is from Rangsangmas - the site is linked with my blog (promosi!). You may use normal hobby or artist brush but the result will not be as good as using airbrush.My collections of enamel paints from Humbrol and Revell. I bought it from Mr Low of Hobby HQ located at Fraser Business Park KL. Also some collections of Testor enamel and acrylic paints in small bottles...My new airbrush compressor, bought in from Rangsangmas at a bargain price, fast delivery too!! I have to replace my old compressor after 7 years using it....another accessory..believe me you will need this adjustable spot light!!...also, a 'must have' for a modeller,Johnson Future Floor polish, can be used for lacquer and many uses.......
..clips and holders...to hold parts together in place while waiting for it to dry...cloth pegs are useful too!.............tapes of different sizes...and liquid masking......brushes of all sizes...and toothpicks too..remember to store your brushes with the brush side up......scissors, tweezers and scribing tools..

  5. Johnson Floor Finish..sebenarnya adalah acrylic kalau dilap kat lantai memang berkilat..scale modelling kat US banyak guna benda ni..
    1..kalau rendam clear parts (cermin tingkap, kanopi) akan nampak very clear, macam kaca..
    2..sticky..boleh guna untuk lekatkan tingkap model atau small parts..
    3..airbrush pada model lepas cat untuk cover paintjob supaya tahan lama
    4..airbrush pada model lepas warna putih supaya tak nampak kuning nanti (yellowing effect)..tuk buat lopak air...(campur ngan warna mud ke..)
    5..decal akan melekat kemas pada surface yang ada future ni..
    6..kalau buat diorama leh guna un
    ...dan macam macam lagi la kegunaanya!

  15. we can use that humbrol paint + borax + water (77F) to camouflage rite?

    ReplyDelete
  16. not sure about it pEja...as far as I know..humbrol paint cannot be mixed with water..what is borax anyway?...I used local industrial thinner to thin the paint..
